Steve Gunn is the main reason I quit this paper. His rambling right wing rhetoric is wasting paper.
You would think he would have better things to write than attacking the poor and unions. He is nothing more than a right wing hack, and I am willing to bet he has never had a job where he had to do actual physical labor. I am sure he is opposed to Medicare and Social Security, so when it is time to receive those benefits hopefully he practices what he preaches and refuses those entititlements.

Mr Gunn, is it OK for the KOCH brothers to give millions to colleges and universites and then dictate who teaches what? You and your anti union, anti teacher writings are sad. Why are you so jealous of teachers? Maybe you should have become one.

Teachers are underpaid, and deserve respect. Your articles are one reason I cancelled my subscription.

Wow I can not believe Mr Gunn a conservative wants to raise taxes.. And even more ironic he wants the people in the county to ante up to help the city out, sounds like what Sarah Pailin calls socialism to me.
Why not raise taxes for Education and Jobs rather than Prisons after the fact where it is ten times more costly. As we make more cuts to Education and Privatize services like bus drivers, janitors and food services more people are going to fall below the poverty line. Economic despair and no hope to escape this social ill needs to be addressed. This country is on the verge of social unrest, and when people can not buy food, shelter, medicine and keep the lights on this unrest may be forthcoming. Tourism in Muskegon will suffer when Local Wages and Benefits go down.. And Mr Snyder and people like you are making sure this happens..

Awesome job Madison and to the other 55 students who signed this letter. School funding should be a top priority.. I am not a teacher but teachers are not greedy like rightsideofbrain claims. Teachers are the basis of a good education. We should reduce class sizes and hire more teachers. Sports and other things like drivers training should be free.. Madison I would encourage you to call your State Representative Holly Hughes.. She is from Montague and a former school board member. Maybe even get some students together and ask to meet with her. Also Senator Hansen is from Hart and one who has voted to cut school funding.

Wow rightofyou, what life do you actually have.. Obviously none.. Being critical of a third grader is such a manly thing. Obviously you are a man with half a brain. Snydely the ricktator cut taxes for corporations and will meet a dastardly fate.. Cut education funding, because you and Snyder think it is much more important to give tax breaks to drug and insurance companies.. Do you think those companies are going to cut their rates or prices.. Not hardly.. Where is their shared sacrafice. Good job Trevor a 10 year old smarter than rightofyou..

Thank You President Obama!! For the naysayers and opponents of the bailout and Obama, please admit he made the right decision for America. GM is good for America and the UAW is great for workers. GM not only employees UAW workers but also many engineeers, offfice workers, car salesemen, mechanics, etc. across this country.. Also countless number of suppliers like Johnson Controls in Holland. What is good for GM is good for America.. Why such hate from right wing people? Do you people hate a success story?

This is just awesome news for Michigan and GM!!! Thank You President Obama. GM has paid back the Federal Government and creating jobs. Unlike Snyder who is killing Public Education and we will be laying off thousands of public workers who do a great service..

Mr Hansen should get his facts straight.. Obama has actually given three federal stimulus to Local Districts.. And Obama did not eliminate that money, the newly elected Republican congress did. Now the state controlled Republican party wants to cut Public Education funding even more...They would rather give tax cuts to Corporations then fund schools properly.
Mr. Hansen does not mention what he pays for Health Insurance, just that he would be willing to pay... Talk is cheap Mr Hansen.. And what does Mr. Hansen pay for his employees at Hansen Food in Hart for Healthcare... Or should I say what Healthcare.. Nice that he can vote for his business to receive a Tax Cut... How many other times have you used your elected position to benefit you or your family Mr. Hansen?

Teabaagers what a waste of your time. Where were you when Bush was spending billions on an unecessary war in Iraq.. When you throw something in Muskegon Lake maybe the police should arrest you for polluting the waters.

ridofusgovt you are scary just like the people you worship. Sarah, Rush, Beck etc.. If our government is so bad leave the country. Most of us would not miss you. Obviously you did not go to a public school, dont think we need police or fire departments, public roads, or maybe even our military.. Rid us of govt, how about rid us of people like you. What country would you desire to live in?

Last I knew DownInTheBurg days are only 24 hours long.. How do you put in 36 hour days.. Geez and you talk about intelligence. and any CEO making 7 Million a year is way overpaid. That is the problem in this country it is corporate greed..

This is a no brainer MDOT. Lets see we have Apple-Carr Mobile Home Park to the north of Apple that has nearly 400 sites and a school to the south. Mill Iron has a light and how many homes to the North do they have? Save your money and just install a light instead of having a costly employee study done.

you gotta be kidding me. Bush kept the deficit under control, where have you been. He had a huge budget surplus when he was elected.
He gave huge tax cuts to all his rich buddies and spent billions on an unecessary war in Iraq. Take off the blinders and face reality. Bush spent us into the mess we are in.

This is a reasonable request and one that deserves a YES VOTE.
Schools now days do not have the money for these type of expenditures. I am sure federal12 would not like a tax increase of a dime if it even went to his Grandma.

The Mackinaw center is nothing more than a right wing think tank. Lynn Moore should be bashing corporate executives making millions, like the CEO of these giant health insurance companies, not the teachers who educate our children. The teachers that spend 60,000 dollars and five years of their lifes to get these benefits.

I am not a teacher but rightsideof brain needs to go back to school.
Yea lets vote against education, that makes a lot of sense. Education is the key to success so lets be against that.
